Phillies!!!!!



Yup, after a nerve wrecking 22hrs bus ride, i am here finally, PHILI!!!! Cheese steaks!!! no lah.....carry my big bag around is no no joke. should take photo of me and my gigantic backpack!!

yah the bus ride wasnt supposed to be so long, who expects that the greyhound has learner drivers without instructor one, holland from baltimore to phili. lucky my bus partner, warren lived in phili before, but still a bit off hahaha.

it was a interesting bus trip. Charleston-columbia-faytteville-richmond-washington DC-baltimore-Philadephia. met a guy call guy who went to carolina to visit his mum and its rushing back to Rohde island to his wife who is soon to give birth to their third daughter.

greyhound is not exactly the type of transportation the rich would take so you can kinda expect mainly the jobless and poor will take the service to other cities to look for relatives or work.

while i was in charleston, had a short chat with david about the government recent issue about immigrants. hes for the immigrants as to him, some of them are much hardworking than most americans he know and they are really essential to the country.

but on this trip, i got a different view. jobless americans do not neccesserily understand david's point, especially if they lack of skills and have to look for unskilled jobs which a lot of illegal immigrants like e hispanics have already taken as u wont need to pay additional tax to employ them.

warren and guy are 2 such pple, you can hear their disapprovals of the immigrants and the lack of work. interesting, but its really none of my concern. this country is great but i think a lot of domestic affairs do need adjustment.

right now i am in ING direct, a cafe recommended by Lonely planet to get internet access. no free console, but plenty of uncrypted wireless my T43 love to hook on!!!

right now, i am waiting for a while more before meeting danielle, my host for this country. shes started a new job today. hope its great for her. looking fwd to seeing her!!!

till the next time!!!
